Mint Forum

I got the Fatal Error on line 56 as well. The error occurs as soon as I add include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/feeder/index.php'); to the template.

Got it working now, thanks to nybble’s hint. I’m using ExpressionEngine as CMS and my Mint uses a separate database. For those who run into the same problems:

Set your rss template to Allow PHP on Output.

First thing in the template should be:

<?php
global $Mint, $DB;
define('BIRDFEED', 'My Feed Title');
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/feeder/index.php');
$DB->select_db('my_ee_database_name');
?>

Then use something like the following code in your tags:

<?php $BirdFeeder->seed('{title}', '{url_title_path=weblog/entry}'); ?>

…that should do it.

So I’m having a problem with Bird Feeder.

I’m running Wordpress, which keeps the wp-rss.php, wp-rss2.php, wp-rdf.php, and wp-atom.php files in the root directory.

Per the readme file, I installed the Bird Feeder pepper in Mint preferences, unzipped and uploaded the feeder directory with no errors, and skipped the non-PHP section, since my feeds are already serving up as PHP.

At the top of wp-rss.php, wp-rss2.php, wp-rdf.php, and wp-atom.php, I added:

<?php
define('BIRDFEED', 'Feed Name');
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/feeder/index.php');
?>

So far so good. Feeds still working, no problem. Then I change the contents of <link> to:

<?php $BirdFeeder->seed(get_the_title_rss(), get_permalink()); ?>

Per the readme, and everything breaks. The feed error is:

The following tags were not closed: rss, channel, item, link. Error processing resource ‘wp-rss2.php’.

But the real problem is that when serving the php file, the file breaks right at the beginning of that BirdFeeder command, thus the rest of the file never gets served, and the error message comes up instead.

Any suggestions?

I decided to check out what’s actually going on. The line of question is this:

$this->Mint->logErrorNote(‘Mint has detected the unlicensed use of the Mint 2 Pepper class on a ‘.$this->Mint->getFormattedVersion().’ installation. Mint 2 is a paid upgrade. Please login into the Mint Account Center and upgrade the license for this domain.’);

I have no clue how that can affect Bird Feeder.

I fixed the fatal error by adding the global mint line to feeder/index.php.

I still have the following warning though:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ////sean/wp-rss2.php:6) in ////sean/wp-rss2.php on line 13

sannixtudio,

Don’t put the BIRDFEED php right at the top of the wp-rss2.php file, put it after the bit of php that includes a call to “header”, and before the bit of php that includes “xml version=”1.0”…”.

Also, don’t leave any blank lines after the ?> that closes the php block that includes the header line, start straight after, and make sure the xml php block starts straight after the BIRDFEED block’s ?>.

It’s similar for the other wp-*.php feed files.

I too was facing the same problem, but I found the solution was the following:

Simply add ‘global $Mint;’ directly above the BIRDFEED define. I got no more errors, and that is the only place where I added in ‘global $Mint’

I tried everything in this thread and it’s still not working for me.

Low,

thanks for the link. it helps a lot.

an example of a link on your site is: http://anexample.com/feeder/?FeederActi … l+variable

the url is very complex and not very user and search engine friendly.

all these extra stuff “/feeder/?….”; are these all generated by bird feeders?

is there anyway to keep the url simple (from an expressionengine install point of view), like mysite.com/index.php/site/rss/?

Hmm, that’s a good call. I didn’t have any plugins installed in my test Wordpress installation. Which plugins are you using (so that I can help diagnose this problem for others in the future)?

The two plugins which were giving me trouble were Popularity Content and Ultimate Tag Warrior. I’m using WP2.1 and the latest version of the plugins.

I am not using any plugins, have dont all of this, have added the global mint to /feeder/index.php, still not working.

Getting the same error…line 56.
